Oooooooh! Went the strange sound, as the four friends were walking slowly in the dark, dark forest.
Long, long ago, Charlie, Madison, Mark and Matthew were looking for a fun park to play in but they saw a black castle covered in pointy vines instead.
Just then Madison heard the eerie sound again. She whispered softly, "Come on everyone, let's check out what's making the sound."
Charlie hid is face with his hands while Matthew blocked Charlie's ears. All three friends hid behind brave Madison. As she grabbed the squeaky door knob Madison said, "It's not a ghost. It's not!"
They all went inside following Madison into the big foyer. They crept up the creaky stairs of the castle. They were rickety stairs that spiralled up high. There was a big door at the top with a golden handle. They opened the door and saw.......
It was Fluffy the cat. Madison laughed, "It was my pet cat Fluffy all along."
Or was it?
